Joe Biden’s campaign came under fire on for putting out a $1.7 trillion climate change plan that included passages identical to previously published documents, in an echo of the plagiarism scandal that helped drive him from the 1988 presidential race

. The text contained the same language about technology designed to capture and store power plants' carbon dioxide emissions as documents previously released by the nongovernmental organization Center for Climate and Energy Solutions as well as the BlueGreen Alliance, a coalition of environmental and labor groups.By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

Biden rolled out his climate policy on Tuesday after facing weeks of criticism from the Democratic Party's left flank for reportedly considering a plan to strike a "middle ground" on the issue. It won praise from environmental groups who welcomed its call to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and ban oil and gas drilling on public lands. Biden also said he would reject campaign contributions from fossil fuel executives and corporations.

Not to mention climate change isn’t factual

Is he Chinese 😊😊😊

Some people never learn... 🧐

Anybody surprised?

Really! This is a scandal. This is what will bring the current DEM front runner down? THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE WHAT MAKES HIM A LESSER MAN THAN DONALD TRUMP?! I like a lot of candidates- BUT F*CK RIGHT OFF W THIS. Trump hired criminals on his campaign. Biden missed a citation?

Plagiarism Joe at it again. Nothing original here!!! Hypocrisy and pandering to SPEAKER OF HOUSE, AOC

I honestly think he does not want the job. Rather, the deep state has a gun to his head: You’re doing this, Joe.

JJDIDTIEBUCKLE Biden lacks key elements of the 14 leadership traits. Specifically integrity and knowledge. He is willing to steal the intellectual property of others to replace or hide his own ignorance. It is desperation and an attempt to be relevant in his own party.

So, if I. turned a college paper for plagiarizing others work, I would have received a failing grade and possibly flunked the class at best. Yet Political won't say JoeBiden 's Climate Plan is plagiarized. Why?

Plagiarizin Biden

Classic entitlement move, it's my turn. No, Joe, it's the voters' turn. So don't appear, don't offer policy that would help the people, hide. See what happens.

Biden’s also going to take credit for Trump’s economy too! Are there any accomplishments that Stealin’ Joe won’t take credit for?!? MAGA Trump2020

Nothing new here. Biden ended his 1988 presidential campaign over a previous plagiarism scandal. Weird how he lost at least 3 previous presidential runs

HeIsNotCampaigning JoeBiden is letting LiberalCampaignManagers run him & not him running his campaign ThatIsAProblem Our POTUS is correct SleepyJoe should nvr be allowed to carry the NuclearFootball HeIsAGlobalist & has been SellingAmerica a piece at a time for decades

Is he aware OR not check what is being presented before going live?

The daggers come out for old joe.

You people are ridiculous is this all you can comeuppance with⁉️ Well good luck with that ... Dump Trump in 2020

Well you can tell “politico” doesn’t want Biden.

Now he’s “copyin’ Joe”

This underscores how unoriginal Democrats are.

Joe have any original ideas?

A Zebra cannot change its stripes.

So Joe Biden - who is not an expert in climatology, science, etc. - utilized the work of actual experts to craft his policy by using their own words. Which BTW didn't seem to upset anyone but you, The Daily Caller (Tucker Carlson's baby) and CREDO, Bernie supporters.

If you had to drop out of a previous presidential race because of plagiarism, wouldn't you be extra careful not to do it again? Not Sleepy Joe!

Sleepy,creepy,low IQ

DEMS, know that this is not your front runner if you haven't voted yet.

So he still CreepyJoe or we going with CutAndPasteBiden

What is wrong with putting previously published material in a plan if it is good? Anyone? Buhler? I don’t give a shit how many authors are in the plan. Is it a good one? That is all that matters.

Oops. Come on folks. Put your support behind Kamala and Elizabeth Warren. And please god, ignore sanders.

Joe Biden, 44 years in the Senate, not a single original idea!

Plagiarism or agreeing? Whatever staffer did this needs more training. And it needs to be reiterated the importance of citations. But it’s not the end of the world. I’m sure SymoneDSanders is handling this. There is no need for a knee jerk reaction.

Add to the list of complaints relevant only in the twitter matrix.

Lol

That’s enough old white guys, don’t you think?

“Rocket Scientist” Joe strikes again!

Isn't he known as Faux Pas Joe? If AOC, the UN & globalist elites are to be believed then $1.7T won't save the planet. So what's the point? In fact if the Green New Deal took over total control of this country, that wouldn't save the planet either. It's about power not climate.

This is a non- story. We need someone who will take climate change seriously and get to work on it.

Joe Plagiarizin’ Biden is back in action.

Lol. He’s such a weak person. That’s why he made vp. In contrast, Obama is a clear well spoken, intelligent person. Joe is a simpleton racist and likely selected as such.

Creepy uncle joe can’t help himself. It’s his phenotype.

Plagiarism? On a policy proposal? Is that somehow a bad thing?

jetrotter Low IQ joe! Doesn’t have a original thought to spare!

He’s not new to plagiarism, see law school and prior presidential run.

Did anyone proofread this tweet? ‘On for’?

Plagiarism hit Biden Campaign Ignorance hit Sanders Campaign Sleeping your way to the top hit Harris Campaign The List is long, great candidates filled with fail economic theories, groping, pure ignorance, etc, etc. A real winning group...

He can drop out now.

Maybe he should get Melania to write it ... oh, wait...

Good He should be removed from running

Of course it did. So tired of this shit. He’s literally Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Not surprised.

JoeBiden CreepyJoeBiden

PeggyRuppe Definitely. He needs to save time so he can inappropriately touch women and children.

realgrace_kelly twice convicted plagiariser creepy joe biden will never stop, he is a has been that should stay out to pasture

No really? He is already showing signs of fatigue Makes sense👍

1988 💀💀💀

frank_oldaker

shaunking Suuuuuuure! Let’s allow the DemocRATs to peddle more “Global Warming” scams to steal more money from Americans to transfer to crappy “scientist” politicians like algore & JoeBiden Trump2020 MAGA KAGA

If Joe is not groping he is copying. Not an original thinker.

A good plan is a good plan. What...He should make up one that sucks.

He has a record of plagiarism.

Uncle Creepy got a little grabby with someone else’s work instead of someone else’s kid. Ok, he still likes kids.. just wishful thinking.

Meanwhile, Republicans just print out their policy plans from whatever EXXON wants.

Same old phony

He’s toast. Who is he kidding. He would be 78 when sworn in. Pleeeaaaasssseeeeeee.

The Russians strike again.

Just an “echo”? More like a Xerox!

I wish the press would do the one story they really need to do on Biden: How the hell does he have more hair now than he did when he ran for president in the 80s?

Here comes Hillary 2.0.

A leopard never changes its spots.....Joe has that touchy feely knack for ignoring normal practices.

Is anyone really surprised? He’s got nothing going on upstairs ⬆️

Once again Democrats will bankrupt the country like they do most states

Well do the figures work?

Dogs always return to their vomit.

Sorry to say he’s a fake and fraud JoeBiden just go away hangout with JohnDelaney millionaresclub KyleKulinski jvgraz

He is an old dog a won’t change now.

Of course! His actual thoughts are to accept big dollar donations and say that he got to be president🙄

We’ve seen this movie before

Glad to hear dumb Joe Biden has a plan to control the planetary climate. Any chance he can keep it from raining this weekend? I have golf plans.

Hmmmm....I wonder what all of u saying “so what” 2 Mr Biden’s plagiarism would do the same if it was President Trump Somehow I think not.........

Ffs.

Didn’t learn in 88’ and sure as hell hasn’t learned in 19’

Over 30 years in Congress and all the sudden Biden is going to save the country 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️😂. Democrats double down on stupid! Remember Biden and Obama wasted billions in tax payer money on failed green energy.

Slow Joe spending your money already. He said “1.7 Trillion dollars” to remove all fossil fuels from the US and reduce CO2 emissions to zero. You own fossil minerals? Coal, gas? Oil? You do! federal and tribal minerals and private ones too. Bye-bye $$$s. nowayBiden.

At least he’s consistent.

How does one plagiarize science again? Isn't that what we want?

“Several citations, some from sources cited in other parts of the plan, were inadvertently left out of the final version of the 22 page document,” a Biden spokesperson said in an email. “As soon as we were made aware of it, we updated to include the proper citations.” CLICKBAIT

Uh oh. Big Michelle O is in deck, ready to be dragged kicking and screaming into the race of misfits.

1988

So, he takes good ideas, public available, and added others? How dare? Lol

Melani”e” Trump plagiarizes Michele Obama all the time... crickets.

Oops

Biden is a known plagiarizer. Biden won’t make it to the GE. Too many skeletons.

“Plagiarism Joe” realDonaldTrump

Joey is at it again

A leopard never changes its spots. Plagiarism 2.0 🤦🏽‍♂️ CreepyJoeBiden

TxTrialAttorney

The truth of the whole thing is all creepy predo Biden will only make it 100% for sure 2020 is in the bag.! Trump2020 MAGA we wont stop we will win....

Joe is back to plagiarizing I guess he figured everyone has forgotten about 1988

Is Politico trying to even the race in polls because Biden is so far ahead?

good ideas are worth repeating.

So he plagiarized again? Guess he better drop out again 😂

CopyingJoe

Some things NEVER change. Biden goes back to his failed 1988 bid to pull out his disgusting plagiarism tactics.

Biden is a fraud. chinajoe UkraineJoe

Plagiarism? I thought he was recycling.

I’m pretty certain Biden invented the Internet.

His middle name is plagiarism

Plagiarism, creepy, gaffes galore and Democrats front runner.

The private sector though is making amazing strides on their own & companies are using these inovations in new buildings to reduce carbon footprint. Between farming n cars, recycling all kinds of things used every day , looking good! Would rather GOVT not get too involved.

You're what, surprised? Or just stupid. StupidlySurprised

😂😂😂Well what did u think Biden has been in office (Congress 30 years/VP 8 years) and tell me what he has done for Climate change again I'll wait..... 😂😂😂He hasn't done anything for ANYONE!!!

Poor Joe - This policy stuff just isn't his thing...

Doesnt matter, they're running Clinton

Have they corrected and apologized yet for plagiarizing Bernie Sanders' slogan coined in 2016, NotMeUs? Biden's 'NotYou. Not Me. But We.' is obvious plagiarism, which has provoked much criticism and deserves attention, considering Biden's many transgressions over the he years.

Not surprised... And if by a miracle he wins, be sure that he will readjust to find that 'middle ground' to what corporations masturbate to

A student in one of my college courses who copied that many words verbatim without acknowledgement would fail. JoeBiden, you get an 'F'!

Go figure. Joe needs to go.

Joe doesn’t have any original ideas. He is a right wing conservative who is attempting to masquerade as a progressive. It’s not going to work.

This is your leader? FOH

why are you people even considering yet another old white dude when you have more than enough to choose from? What is wrong with y'all?

Remember the other plagiarizer who really had ZERO fallout? I think you know her...

If they are good ideas and backed with sound science. I really do not care that they were published before. This headline seems to imply that to fix this issue he would need to invent his own magic wand. Político. You know better than this gotcha game.

Plagiarism for a working climate plan? I'm fucking in. No one man or admin will be able to accomplish that feat alone.

I think in today's politics, this is a joke

shocked that a known plagiarizer would plagiarize . . . . . . ...shocked

Joe Biden is not a good presidential candidate.

If were are really going to stop progress on climate change to make sure 'proper credit' is given, we deserve this dying planet.

MABA

I mean it's a law, who cares if it's plagiarized, attack it on the merits?
